Riverstone Books is thrilled with the success of our relaunched book club. Our next book will be Sunflower Sisters by Martha Hall Kelly, bestselling author of Lilac Girls and Lost Roses. This month's book club will follow close on the heels of our virtual author visit with Martha Hall Kelly! So be sure to read the book early and sign up for Martha's author discussion here!
Give yourself a bit of quiet time with your book friends and read about another remarkable generation of women. Caroline Ferriday (of Lilac Girls) helped the women of Ravensbruck concentration camp. In Sunflower Sisters, her ancestor, Georgeanna Woolsey challenges the status quo for the women of the Civil War. She will help both the wounded soldiers at Gettysburg and those that they fought to free. From the bloody battlefields to the barbaric plantations, this is a sweeping story of women caught in a country on the brink of collapse, in a society grappling with nationalism and unthinkable racial cruelty, a story still so relevant today.
We will be discussing the possibility of returning to in person book club!
